Getting to know Skip, 1.2-million times

Democrat attorney general candidate state Sen. Walter "Skip" Campbell launched his first statewide television ad Tuesday, a biography piece narrated by Campbell himself. A sampling: "I grew up in a working class family. I spent six years in the seminary. Then worked my way through college and law school. Today, I'm a state Senator. My faith and family are what I hold most dear." The campaign spends its first big bucks with the ad, $1.2-million. It will run statewide for a week.
